Phuket is famous for its beautiful clear water beaches and coastline in Thailand. One can sail on the island at all times of the year. The climate remains sunny throughout the year. From sports cruisers to yachts, anything can be hired in Phuket.
Due to sunny weather, the water remains warm and the sky clear. But there are chances of slight showers except from October to April, which is why this is considered the best time for sailing boats. One can find docked yacht brands like Aquila Power Catamarans, Monte Carlo Yachts, Benneteau, Fairline Yachts, Sanlorenzo, Lagoon Catamarans, and many more at the marinas.
Regular seafarers have the advantage of being the captain of their own ship, whereas beginners can go for crewed charters or agencies like 5starmarinephuket.com that provide private boat charter Phuket services. There are 33ft cruisers for one-day trips and 80ft superyachts with cabinets for four-day trips. A yacht has the capacity of boarding 6 to 50 people.
To hire a yacht, information like the number of people to travel, the activities, and the places to go should be provided to yacht charter companies such as Boat Lagoon Yachting, Blue Voyage Thailand, and Simpson Marine.
Bookings should be made a few weeks earlier so that the company can coordinate with the demands of the customer, but during the off-season, yachts are very much available on the spot as well.
The documents needed for this process are a copy of the passport and credit card details. The price of charters, including the fuel price for four hours of engine usage, can be THB 99,000 (Rs 2,30,000) to THB 5,00,000 (Rs 12,00,000).
